Our Prep Party Focus: Omega-3s!

Have you heard of Omega-3 fatty acids?

They’re pretty cool….

Omega-3 fatty acids help to reduce triglyceride levels - therefore supporting cardiovascular health. They may also contribute to increased levels of “good cholesterol” (HDL) and decreased blood pressure. (Read more about health benefits here >>)

Annd - that’s not where the benefits stop.

Omega-3 fatty acids may also associated with cognitive benefits - specifically in reducing the risk of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and cognitive decline. Omega-3 fatty acids are more concentrated in the brain and eyes - potentially providing support for both our cognitive function and eye health.

Finally, their anti-inflammatory properties may be helpful in supporting arthritis and/or joint pain.

Read the National Institutes of Health “Fact Sheet” about Omega-3s here >>

So - how can you include these AWESOME fatty acids into your meals?

On October 7th, we will prepare 6 recipes together that use ingredients rich in omega-3 fatty acids including: chia pudding; one-pan-garlic & lemon salmon & chicken; peanut butter oat & flax bites; salmon salad; warm farro salad; and, walnut pesto --> all while having fun in the kitchen.

What’s on the Menu?

  • Fruity Chia Pudding

  • One-Pan Lemon Garlic Salmon (and Chicken Breasts)

  • Salmon Salad

  • Peanut Butter, Oat and Flax Energy Bites

  • Warm Farro Salad

  • Walnut Pesto

**Options for substitutions are available. Simply email me your dietary restrictions and I will suggest an alternative option for you to prepare (please note there is no vegetarian substitution for the salmon salad, however I can suggest different vegetarian protein recipes that would make an awesome lunch!)

Through the Week, You’ll Then Have….

  • 4 servings of chia pudding to enjoy for breakfasts throughout the week

  • 2 servings of Lemon Garlic Salmon - one to be served with the farro salad after our Prep Party and one for Tuesday as a “salmon salad”)

  • 4 servings of Lemon Garlic Chicken to use in salads or wraps, or to pair with the farro salad OR walnut pesto (ie: chicken pesto chickpea pasta!)

  • 16 servings of Peanut Butter Oat and Flax Energy Bites to enjoy as snacks throughout the week (they also make a lovely topping for Greek yogurt or cottage cheese!)

  • 4 servings of Farro Salad to serve for lunches & dinners throughout the week

  • 10 servings of walnut pesto to add QUICK flavour to pasta, salad, stir frys, or veggie-snacks throughout the week
